I have 2 flat screen tvs that still work but have no remotes. The first one is a seiki 39 inch with no stand. It works fine but no remote.
The second is an older Samsung 42 inch TV with stand (no screws to attach..sorry I lost them). This one works but again no remote and it does have a thin green line about 4 to 5 inches from the top. My son used it as a monitor playing Xbox and he said it was hardly noticeable. If ur a gold scrapper u can take it apart and take whatever little gold it has and scrap the rest. Thanks for looking.
